Several weeks ago jo.b contacted me regarding PMC - The Message after several email exchanges jo.b exclaimed, "Oh my god nikcap, I'm having nightmares about little green aliens"!
We decided to meet up at The Cabin for pizza and puzzle solving. After several hours of working through the puzzle and decrypting The Message, jo.b was comfortable with the puzzle, and we parted ways for the evening. On my way home a heavy storm came through. The rain was so heavy I had to pull over to let the rain subside. I was concern about the severity of the storm and looked at my cell phone. I noticed the time and phone number was all zeros. The message light was flashing super-fast, but when I tried to check the messages I just got dead air. I figured I'd restart the phone by popping the battery out but, it simply would not turn off!
All of a sudden there was a loud crack of thunder and a bright flash of lighting. The bolt must have hit close to my cache-mobile and I was temporarily blinded. As my eyes adjusted, I noticed the rain had completely cleared, the sun was out and not a cloud was in the sky. I found this very strange and I was very baffled by the whole event. Either way, I was happy the storm cleared and I continued home.
When I got home, I thought about storm and lightning and how everything had cleared after the bright flash. I watched a couple of episodes of Dr. Who and eventually retired to bed. As I was headed up the stairs, I realized I had forgotten about my cell phone. I retrieved it from my coat pocket and noticed that the message light was still flashing, but it looked normal now and wasn't blinking super-fast.
I checked the messages; one was from jo.b asking where I was (I was fashionable late to The Cabin) and the other was obviously a wrong number. I didn't recognize the voices, but I heard some numbers and discussion about some computer equipment. I thought I heard the names Julian and Gregory, but I really could make out what he was saying. Besides I don't work with anyone with those names. I didn't worry too much about it as I figure if it was serious I would hear back from him. I put the phone on the charger and went upstairs to bed. I thought about the crazy storm I experience and looked to see if there was any information on the local news web-sites. I didn't find anything about the storm, but found an interesting article about a couple of UFO sightings near Dorbrook Farms and Earl Depot. One in 2008 and another in 1959.
I slept restlessly and woke up in the middle of the night to whispers in the hallway. The voices were from just outside the door. I got up to investigate and walked out into the hallway. Standing in the hallway were two green aliens!
They were staring at a strange device with lights, buttons and antennas. They were also arguing about something. All I could make out was one saying: "Sunday, October 14, 6288" and the other countering with: "Tuesday, June 15, 15571". All of a sudden they looked up and spotted me. Before I could comprehend what was happening, there was a bright flash.
I woke up the next morning not knowing if I dreamed the whole episode or not. When I looked at my computer, I noticed I had left the webpage up about 1959 UFO sighting at Earl (Case ID 68645); it made me think about those crazy dates the aliens in my dream were arguing about.
Great, now I'm dreaming of little green aliens!

I've heard rumors that if you assume W74, the date January 16, 4690 BCE, will work for the west.
